Well Thankfully Hassium (106)and it’s anti matter form Hassnotium is safe. Well other than being wildly radioactive with an extremely short half life. When Chemistry meets Physics, lots of funny things happen. Sorry if I quark myself up.

It’s funny, in New Orleans, they took down the statue of General Lee, but the park it was in is still named “Lee Circle Park”.

We need to ban the word “thousand” because Hitler claimed that his Third Reich would last one thousand years.

We need to ban the word “thousand” because Hitler claimed that his Third Reich would last one thousand years. We should demand that Robert B. Reich change his name.

How about naming it ‘Arkham’.

They should name it Hoth, thereby only possibly offending Star Wars fans.

Hassium (Hs) is atomic #
108. Perhaps your sample radioactively decayed into
Bohrium (Bh), atomic # 107, or
Seaborgium (Sg), atomic # 106.
Bohrium is boring.
In the early '40s all the plutonium in the world was stored in a cigar box on Glenn Seaborg's desk at Berkeley.
Hassnotium can decay into either Hasslessium or Hassmorium.
The most elusive of the transfermium elements (the group with atomic numbers > 100) is Unobtanium (Unob), atomic number ~ 119. Highly prized by Steampunkers.

“the term remains popular in alt-right circles”
I have the sense that “alt-right” is another leftwad invention, like “capitalist.”
Is there, or was there, an actual “alt-right?”

Hoth was in a galaxy far far away. :-)

I’m sure those “native Americans” were as calm and peaceful as can be. Never harmed a fly, I’ll bet.

While Unobtainium is highly prized, seekers know that the most rare element is Illudium Q-36. But it must be handled harefully so as not to create an earth shattering kaboom.
